We balance super hard work with having a lot of fun at work!  Like playing pool, getting a Dia de los Muertos makeover, zoning out on the couches listening to music or raiding the snack cupboard (FYI frozen marshmallows are the latest craze at Vend - seriously, try them!). Work-life balance.  We know you have a life outside of work. We know you probably have little side projects or businesses too. This is valued and at Vend you can have a life inside work to. We welcome all of you at work.  We don’t want you to leave your personality at the door. So, close the window on your latest beautiful creation for a moment and get in touch.  Utilise all your talents.  Not just the ones written in your job description.
